In a recent interview, Kate Winslet got candid about the challenges and triumphs of her latest project, Lee , a film that has been nearly a decade in the making. The movie, which tells the story of trailblazing World War II photojournalist Lee Miller, is not just a passion project for Winslet—she also stars in it. The journey to bring Lee to the screen was anything but smooth, with Winslet revealing how she spent nine years securing funding and assembling a stellar cast that includes Alexander SkarsgÃ¥rd, Andrea Riseborough, and comedian Andy Samberg, in his first dramatic role.
Winslet’s dedication to Lee showcases her evolving role in Hollywood, not just as an actress, but also as a producer who fought to ensure this story would be told. The film focuses on Lee Miller's remarkable life, from her experiences on the frontlines of war to her documentation of some of the first images from concentration camps, making it a poignant, historical biopic. Winslet talked about how moving it was to step into Miller’s shoes, embodying her spirit and resilience during one of the darkest periods in human history. The film is directed by Ellen Kuras and also features powerful performances from the rest of the cast, capturing the weight of war through the eyes of photographers who bore witness to unspeakable horrors.
One striking scene in the film portrays a moment when Miller, played by Winslet, bathes in Adolf Hitler’s bathtub in his Munich apartment after his suicide—a powerful, symbolic gesture by a woman who photographed the aftermath of his atrocities. The film offers deep reflections on the emotional toll of bearing witness to war, something both Miller and her colleague, Davey Scherman (portrayed by Samberg), experience.
Lee offers more than just the story of a photographer; it is a tribute to women like Miller who broke societal norms, pursued their passions, and made a lasting impact. Winslet’s portrayal highlights the complex layers of Miller’s life—her courage, her struggles, and the indelible mark she left on history. The film is a significant achievement for Winslet, both as a leading lady and as a producer, underscoring her commitment to telling important, untold stories.
